Traditional Garden Urns and Contemporary Containers

Pansies are a great choice for early spring because they will handle of bit of cold well.

Love the mix of purple and orange in this urn.

Pansies again, but this time a single color.

A more contemporary container planting with a colorful mix of annuals.

It doesn't get much simpler: an old fashioned spider plant fills this urn.

A modern take on a container planting. The tall plant in the centre with the large leaves is a Philodendron (commonly used as a houseplant). Lime colored Coleus plants are used underneath the Philodendron (see detail below).

This is a fibreglass urn that I have at the front of my home. I purchased the little bird hoop at Walmart and painted it maroon to match the urn. I found the little birdhouse at Michael's.

Here is an interesting idea: mix herbs and perennials into your container plantings.

Parsley, Sage, Heuchera and Euphorbia have all been mixed in colorful annuals.

A closeup of the Sage leaves.

Creeping Jenny can be an invasive plant in the garden, but it spills beautifully over the edge of a container planting.
